Good evening. A Kent hospital accused of | :00:11. | :00:13. | |
discriminating against blue badge holders with its parking charges | :00:13. | :00:18. | |
has agreed to look again at prices. Medway Maritime Hospital was being | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
sued by a patient who said the costs go against equality laws. | :00:21. | :00:31. | |
:00:31. | :00:31. | ||
Fiona Irving has more. An attack on Disability Rights, | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
that his house to soar Medway Maritime Hospital's decision to | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
charge disabled visitors to park. She was suing the hospital under | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
the equality act and now they have reached an out-of-court this | :00:44. | :00:48. | |
element -- settlement. Visitors will now be able to park for longer | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
for the same price. I see it as a win for Disability Rights and a win | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
for others as well, carers of disabled people and people with | :00:56. | :01:01. | |
elderly relatives and mums with buggies that take time to get in | :01:01. | :01:07. | |
and out so it makes it a lot easier. It is perhaps only a minor victory. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Disabled visitors still have to pay to park here. Anyone parking for | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
more than two hours have to pay the same. It is only visitors that wind | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
-- Park for less than two hours that win out. There will be a | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
discount scheme for frequent visitors. For many the changes do | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
not go far enough. The frequent visitor at discount is all right | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
but to charge disabled people is morally wrong. Morally wrong. | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
sure this hospital makes enough money with all of the people that | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
do have to pay to allow a few disabled people to get in for free. | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
Disabled people should then have to pay at all. They have had it for | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
years where they have and I had to pay anything. They are allowed to | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
park on double yellow lines and that so why can they not part here? | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
The trust say the party policy is not discriminatory but it strives | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
to ensure its practices of the highest standard. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Rail services between Brighton and London have returned to normal | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
following a trackside fire last week. Passengers were trapped on | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
dark trains by Preston Park station in Brighton for more than two hours | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
following the fire caused by power faults. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
And a reminder that Southeastern and Southern are operating a | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
reduced Christmas Eve service tonight. | :02:26. | :02:29. | |
It means the last departures on services from London to the Sussex | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
coast, Maidstone, Dartford and coast, Maidstone, Dartford and | :02:30. | :02:32. | |
coast, Maidstone, Dartford and Whitstable will be around 8pm and | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
Whitstable will be around 8pm and Whitstable will be around 8pm and | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
in some cases closer to 7pm. Festive swimmers in Brighton are | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
being warned not to take part in the annual event tomorrow as the | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
council says the conditions will be too dangerous. As a result of the | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
forecast, the beach will be closed at the site of the annual event. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
The seafront team will be in attendance but warn there'll be no | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
lifeguards present. Last year a man was rescued in similar conditions | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
and in 2007, 12 people were rescued, again in stormy conditions. | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
Football and the South East's league teams face their most | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
intensive couple of weeks of the season, with as many as four games | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
in eleven days. And for most teams that starts on Boxing Day. But for | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
the first time in many years Brighton fans will have to wait a | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
little longer to get their festive football fix, with no match before | :03:16. | :03:25. | |
meeting Watford at home, and Ipswich away. So many games in a | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
short period of time. Sometimes it looks like it is more important | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
than the rest. For me it is no different. The first game of the | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
season all the last game of the season. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
In the Boxing Day fixtures, Charlton play Ipswich at the Valley | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
while in League One Crawley travel to Portsmouth. And in League Two | :03:42. | :03:49. | |
Gillingham host Barnet. Now, with Christmas almost upon us, | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
I'm sure you've had a number of goodwill messages. But in our | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
opinion there's always room for a few more. | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
I am Alun Davies and I would like to wish everyone in the South East | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
a very Happy Christmas and those of you outside the South East, I am | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
not interested. A merry Christmas to all of you from Robbie Savage. | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
Merry Christmas to the viewers of South East Today. Merry Christmas! | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
A family who've made the Eastbourne pantomime an annual tradition have | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
gone one step further this year by starring as newly weds on the stage. | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
Victoria and Stephen Rogers were married at the town hall this | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
morning and then, with full wedding party, went to the performance of | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
Sleeping Beauty. And at the end of the show the new Mr and Mrs Rogers | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
were guests of honour for the curtain call. | :04:43. | :04:46. | |
Oh no they weren't! Oh yes they were! | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
were! Let us get the weather now. | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
Hello. It may have only been light rain today but the yellow warning | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
is still in place until midnight. It is falling on saturated ground | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
so there is a risk of localised flooding. If you have any concerns | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
look at the Environment Agency website. Christmas Day will be a | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
day of sunshine and heavy showers. Showers will start in the early | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
hours of this morning, quite heavy along the coastline. They could be | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
thundery. They will continue until around lunchtime. It will be clear | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
for a little while and we may even have sunny spells to look forward | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
to. It will be quite a breezy day tomorrow. Much the same as today. | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
Quite mild temperatures. Not quite as mild as we have had recently so | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
it may feel cooler. In the evening the showers will return. It is | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
looking quite unsettled over the next few days. The breeze will stay | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
with us until the end of the week. Temperatures are gradually taking a | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
dip down as we ate it towards the end of the week. Hopefully your | :05:49. | :05:52. |
